"Our son has transformed under the guidance of Ronen. Once a nervous and uncertain young boy, he has now become a mentally, physically stronger and more confident boy. Ronen fosters and helps our son build mental resilience and helps him work through any challenges he faces in his life, including how to deal with challenging situations with other children. Ronen has been incredible at building up our son’s physical strength, as well empowering him to trust himself and his own abilities. He continuously encourages him to persevere through difficulties and this has given our son the ability to feel tremendous pride in himself. This feeling of enhanced self worth has impacted his whole life and we see it shining through in how he presents himself, how he speaks to others and how he holds himself physically. Our son has an increased sense of presence, that is noted by many who meet him and we are very grateful to Ronen for helping him to continue to develop this. One-to-one sessions with Ronen are a joy and we hear a lot of laughter when our son is training with him. Ronen makes the sessions fun and enjoyable. We highly recommend Ronen, he is amazing and a very kind, patient, professional and experienced instructor."-Georgina, Jamie & Robert Payne
“Ronen has been teaching our son since he was four years old. And I don’t mean that he has been simply instructing my son in Karate. Ronen has been a mentor in all things that are important growing up— friendship, kindness, discipline, perseverance and self-worth. My son is now thirteen, and while he has had to navigate the many challenges of being a kid with autism and ADHD, with Ronen he has found a path. Along the way, Ronen has become a dear friend and a source of inspiration for our whole family. I can’t recommend him strongly enough.”-Vincenzo & Kana
"Ronen's unique teaching style and out-of-the-box thinking was a revelation to me! What he's achieved with my son is nothing short of a miracle."-Magali Julien
"Angelina has gained so much confidence and has so much fun increasing her knowledge of what to do in tricky situations. Ronen truly has an art with kids."-Lisa & Gino
"My son struggles with severe anxiety and a speech delay. Ronen has worked with my son for the last five months, and the difference in him is incredible! During the first few lessons, I had to hold my son in my arms because he was so anxious. Now he is able to participate with the other students and feels successful and accomplished. My son has also regained mastery over his own body and discovered physical strength he didn't know he had. He has begun drawing, too! I feel like I am seeing my little boy again for the first time. I'm a certified special education teacher and I'm in awe of Ronen's unique talent to draw out the best in his students, regardless of their ability level."-J.D., Lawrence Park
“This is a wonderful program for kids to build strength of character and find the confidence they might be lacking. Ronen is kind, knowledgeable and always patient. Our daughter loves coming to the classes and has benefited greatly not only from the physical aspect of the martial arts but from the mental discipline as well.”-John & Sara Stevens
“Ronen has a very unique ability to effectively teach children on the autism spectrum, while identifying and understanding their individual abilities, strengths and challenges and incorporating his knowledge and creativity to overcome barriers to learning. Both of my sons are students in Ronen’s classes. My older son takes the advanced class and has made significant progress in his confidence. My younger son is lower functioning and non-verbal. While he was displaying difficulty in gross motor imitation in his daily IBI, Ronen somehow managed to get him to imitate beginner karate stances and the ‘courtesy bow’ willingly, during his first class! Ronen’s classes have become an important part of our week.”-G.T.
“My child has been coming to the classes for two years and his skills progress each week. His enthusiasm to return weekly is a testimony to Ronen’s skill and compassion to the program. Ronen is truly dedicated, unwavering, enthusiastic and commands each child’s attention in a respectful manner.”-Anonymous
“My son has been in the program for nine months and absolutely loves going. Within the first few sessions, I noticed he had much more confidence in himself. Others noticed this attitude even in the way he walked and carried himself. Ronen is very kind but also firm and has the ability to push the kids further in their abilities. I am very thankful my son has made friends and improvements in physical and mental discipline.”-Janice Yuen, Toronto
“Ronen is very dedicated to the program and his students. He provides consistency and discipline to my son. He has been responding positively to his teaching, improving in his karate and listening skills. Thank you!”-Louise Pang
“I continue to register my son in the program session after session and that says it all. Ronen has wonderful patience dealing with our kids and his love for them really shows.”-Anonymous
